Course Description

This course will teach you about robots and human-robot interaction (HRI). This course will help you identify the problems in designing healthcare robots and show you what MedTech scientists have done to address them.

You will be able to understand how successful products are brought to market by using case studies and learn why regulations are so important for robot safety and AI in healthcare.

The course will also examine how artificial intelligence can be used in surgical procedures to improve precision diagnosis, exoskeleton technology and patient care.

The CPD Certification Service has accredited this course, so it can be used as evidence of your professional continuing education.
